It's about 7,500,000,000 times as heavy as a Grain of Rice
The weight of a Grain of Rice is about 0.0000000000000210 megatonnes.
(conventional; US; long-, medium-, and short-gran varieties; uncooked)
With great differences in variety, the average among a sampling of common short-, medium- and long-grain rices finds that a single grain weighs about 0.0000000000000210 megatonnes before cooking. A staple through most of human history, archaeological evidence indicates that the earliest rice cultivation was about 11,500 years ago.

It's about 500,000,000,000 times as heavy as a Poppy Seed
The weight of a Poppy Seed is about 0.000000000000000300 megatonnes.
(Papaver somniferum)
Fifty percent oil by weight, a poppy seed weighs approximately 0.000000000000000300 megatonnes. The true pigment of a poppy seed is brown in color, while the characteristic bluish color is an optical illusion caused by a layer of calcium oxalate crystals refracting light rays.
